The Barn Owl Foundation (BOF) has been taking an active role in vocational, adult and higher education in the field of environmental conservation since 2008. As a non-governmental organisation the BOF aims to improve the practical skills of young and senior environmental conservationists in order to enhance the successful employment of this special target group. Many of the Foundation’s ongoing programmes are addressing recent, sectoral challenges such as the lack of hands-on trainings and linguistic skills. During the course of these partnership projects the BOF pinpointed several areas where adult education staff ought to be trained to become more efficient and more competent trainers. In this project the BOF intends to reinforce its adult education capacity through a) the modernisation of the pedagogical methodology in adult education, and through b) the development of adult education staff in the field of entrepreneurship. To achieve these objectives this programme will select 16 volunteers and/or professional trainers who are active in environmental adult education. The 16 participants will take part in a combined training which comprises a preparation phase in Hungary and a two week long tailor-made training course in the UK, hosted by Ambios Ltd. The preparatory training in Hungary will provide the participants with sufficient preliminary information on the four selected learning outcomes: 1) New approaches and pedagogical views in adult education, skills and competencies 2) The concept of organic life-long learning for adult learners 3) The development of linguistic toolset (technical English course) 4) Entrepreneurship in the environmental sector The learning topics will be actively discussed, demonstrated and experienced in depth during the course of the English training. Formal and informal teaching will deliver the learning content in English. The project duration is 12 months. Ambios Ltd (UK), the host organisation, has more than 20 years of experience in environmental and adult education. The most important expected impact of the project is that the beneficiaries will be more capable trainers because of the up to date knowledge (in methodology of adult education and entrepreneurship) which the project will provide. The entrepreneur thinking is regarded as a key competence to reduce the vulnerability of employees and career starters in such professions where employment prospects are not great. Hence, as a long term impact this project hopes to foster self-employment and entrepreneurship in the environmental sector. As a short term effect the Barn Owl Foundation intends to increase its weight in the environmental adult education with the help of the volunteers and staff as they develop their professional knowledge in adult education.
